Cardinals from Above for Leah

My best friend of 31 years lost her father in law in March this year and just lost her mother in law a week ago today.... She said that a male cardinal showed up the week her mother in law was in hospice and as soon as she passed, a female joined the male and have been chirping away in her back yard since.... Even following her as she jogged....

 

Little Red Bird Love

Little Red Bird is still chirping away with daily posts of positive feel good affirmations and quotes, offering love hope and inspiration to anyone who visits the face book page "Little Red Bird Chirps".

Ever so often a LRB friend will share some words of gratitude or a story to compare.   It's a wonderful gift when I receive these notes of love shared from their heart.  With each heartfelt share,  it validates why I am here,  the warmth I feel in my heart confirms that this is my purpose.

Emma Marie brings Magic

July 22, 2015
Emma Marie was born.... my newest lil niece and first child for my brother David and his beautiful wife Amanda.

Emma was our sister Mary's middle name and Marie is mine... what a gift lil Emma Marie is!

Our Mary was always the one who was so excited for babies.  I have felt her excitement from the very start......  There are many times I believe she has guided me to special gifts to buy for our loved ones at special times and I just know that these are gifts from her not me.

The gift for Emma Marie she guided me to was a LRB fan named Mary, who ended up making this custom order quilt for me.  So many synchronicities  with this gift.  The LRB fan, Mary is from a town in Louisiana close to where our sister in laws family is from.  Mary has grandchildren in the same town where my brother and sister in live.  She posted a comment on LRB one day that she liked a picture and would love to use it in a quilt..... I told her I was thinking of having a quilt made for my special lil niece and that's how it all began.

Magical Mary Quilt

The morning Emma was born I was at my kitchen table looking out into my backyard and noticed the most beautiful Monarch butterfly.  I remember seeing a caterpillar in our yard on a few weeks before.

An hour later,  i got the news that Emma too had arrived!  I connected the two and it made me smile.

 

I made plans to fly to Texas as soon as I could.   

The magic continues..... 

The night before I'm about to fly out,  a dozen ladybugs filled my front patio.  What a beautiful sight that was......

On the way to the airport a Cardinal truck is driving alongside of me.......

As my plane lands in Houston and is rolling up to the gate,  I look out the window and the first thing I see is a dragonfly hovering around outside of my window.  I was speechless - I  couldn't believe my eyes.  Were they deceiving me?  This was the best picture I could get from my seat.

THEN..... that evening, the most unbelievable surprise of all.  As we were relaxing around the pool that evening,  the largest most beautiful dragonfly lands on me and stays until I make it leave.  It was magical - so sweet - my brother even got a 5 minute long video of us playing with it.

That same day that I arrived,  the beautiful quilt arrived too.   It was supposed to have gotten there days before, but fate would have it to arrive so I could answer the door.  

I have had a lot of magic happen since my Mary passed away but this is the most amazing sequence of  events  - showing us how excited Mary is and how she is still very much a part of our lives!

Loving Mary Forever, Amen!

Cardinals Appear When Angels are Near

The Cardinal:
A magnificent bird with a life span of up to 15 years. Said to symbolize hope,  joy,  health, rejuvenation and celebration.  Especially to the ones who look beyond in search of their meaning.
For those who choose to hold the Cardinal dear – you are a special type of person – rare, energetic, and always willing to care for those in need.

Memories to Cherish

Cardinal Comforts Courtney

 CARDINAL COMFORT FOR COURTNEY

July 3rd:
Last week the Friday before I had my surgery, I was nervous as all hell - when I left the house that morning a cardinal landed In front of my car and I took it as a sign of peace from loved ones that have passed and I told myself to relax - 2 hrs later I'm thinking horrible thoughts of my surgery and no joke a big white 18 wheeler truck pulls up next to me and it says Cardinal shipping and has a big red Cardinal on it... 5:30 that night I get to my hair cut appointment and on the counter are red and white mints and yes they had a pic of a red Cardinal and says Cardinal mints ..,  the weekend went by & I prayed the night before and the morning of my surgery and as always I asked for a sign....I had my surgery - I lived -  lol and when my doctor came to see me he said I took a picture of your tumor would you like to see it - of course I said yes - it was a gross thing on a surgical sheet under a ruler measuring the size and at first I didn't notice but after I looked the name of the ruler was Cardinal health!!!

House Synchronicity

Amazing Synch:

I just went to get my blood work done at Quest Diagnostic by me. The nurse taking my information asked for my zip code and then said she didn't normally work at this location. 

She then said my address sounded familiar... She lived on my street until she was 12 but didn't remember the address.  She asked what my house looked like.  When I described my house as a ranch, she immediately, "Yes that was my house, my step dad was a vet from the navy and they had made the house wheelchair accessible... they put an electric ramp to go into the basement for him back in 1971".   I said "Yes, it was still there when we moved in last fall but had it removed since it was so old and we couldn't have it repaired".


I went on to learn that my lavender room was her bedroom but back then, it had pink walls, red carpet and a canopy bed!  Sounds lovely.  IMy husbands office off the garage was her step dads den.  I should have asked her if he smoked because we randomly smell smoke in that room. She said her step dad died young, he died from a brain tumor at 26. Wow..... ✨💛. 

So nice to meet you today Gwen R.
